Glad the site helped you with rest of the puzzle - the parts I didn't botch. Just so you know, I botch very few puzzles (or very few blog entries, anyway) after this one.<br /><br />RPRex Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16145707733877505087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-5871004868840293692006-11-26T16:50:00.000-05:002006-11-26T16:50:00.000-05:00just to let you know... you said that M. equivalen...just to let you know... you said that M. equivalent was sir but it is actually sig as in signore. I think you had that as you must have got Auriga for Capella's constellation.<br /><br />Thanks for the help.

Your completed puzzle (with 38 across highlighted) will be on my wall.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the company started 50 or so years ago under the name American Research Bureau (ARB) when they measured TV. They had a set-top box they placed in people's homes and it became known as the ARBitron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-1160885025442738972006-10-15T00:03:00.000-04:002006-10-15T00:03:00.000-04:00Argus has been fickle.

I love how my best friend writes in *only* to tell me about errors and technical problems. <BR/><BR/>Casey Kasem gives me good and bad shivers thinking of the Top 40 radio of my youth. "And this week's #1 song is ... 'Reunited,' by Peaches & Herb!" "This Long Distance Dedication goes out to ... Sherry, in Great Neck, from Ronnie, in prison."

I guess that means you're an 'official' blog now if you're receiving comment junk like that.<BR/><BR/>Just kidding. On a puzzle like this, I'd say finishing the thing at all is damned impressive - timing oneself on these things is not as much a reliable gauge of anything, as much as just being able to complete the thing. Congrats on that. Had a heck of a time myself, especially AURIGA. Nasty nasty stuff.<BR/><BR/>ARBITRONRATINGS saved me a bit, and reassured me that those hours during my formative years of listening to 80's music and Casey Kasem countdowns had a purpose, after all. All for that one clue. Thanks, commerical radio.<BR/>And thanks for the Lili St Cyr picture - definitely, er, brought the puzzle to life :).Howard Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03298388961601269980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-1160861155030527452006-10-14T17:25:00.000-04:002006-10-14T17:25:00.000-04:00The "Argus" pic is not loading for me in Safari or...The "Argus" pic is not loading for me in Safari or IE.
